Quality Supports Program - Supported Independent Living Pilot

Overview

The Quality Supports Supported Independent Living Pilot (SIL Pilot) is focussed on ensuring every National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participant has access to the highest quality supports.  The NDIA has invited a select group of SIL providers to apply for a grant as part of the Quality Supports Program. Only providers who met the eligibility criteria set out in the Quality Supports SIL Pilot Grant Opportunity Guidelines have been invited to apply for the SIL Pilot. The pilots will focus on working with selected providers to identify features of quality service provision and cost models associated with providing quality services. The findings of the SIL Pilot will be used to inform future market approaches and pricing, as part of the Agency's commitment to a revised pricing approach. The SIL Pilot will commence in 2025 following a restricted competitive grant process with registered providers who meet specified eligibility criteria and are invited by the Agency to apply.   Up to $20million in grant funding is available to support the SIL Pilot. This funding will offset the costs of selected SIL providers working closely with the NDIA to provide information and data on the cost models associated with providing quality services.
